GOSSIP OF THE DAY.
LORD QUEENSBERRY'S COSTS.
It is stated that the recent case has cost Lord Queensberry close upon £1,500.
HE WALKS NOW.
"I never walk," Oscar Wilde told Mr. Carson in the Old Bailey. He walks vow (with the others) daily, and is enjoying the novelty of rational exercise in prison.
FATE.
Amid all Oscar Wilde's friends who regret his terrible position there is no one more pained than his old school-fellow, Mr. Edward Carson, M.P., who led for the defence. It seems that they were not on y schoolfellows as boys, but friends as men, and that Oscar Wilde was among the supporters of Mr. Carson at the last election.
THE VALUE OF ADVERTISEMENT.
On the day after Mr. Carson's cross-examination of Oscar Wilde he had no less than 11 important cases placed in his hands.
AN ADDITION OF £5,000 A YEAR.
A well-known legal luminary remarked at the close of the Queensberry trial that it meant an addition of £5,000 a year to Mr. Carson's income. It is the first great case in which Mr. Carson has had the leading brief, but it will certainly not be the last.
